As I drove to the train station this morning I listened to my daily dose of NPR. The program announced and Cokie Roberts and someone else were discussing (what else?) the election. I didn't catch the name of the third participant, but he made an interesting point (paraphrased): In 1876, when Rutherford B. Hayes won the Electoral College vote (but not the popular vote), he won by a very narrow margin of electoral votes ... and the key state was Florida! For his entire term in office, the supporters of Samuel Tilden (the Democratic candidate) referred to Hayes as "his Fraudulency." Dubya might want to be careful what he wishes for ...
